It's a good idea, and in my opinion it's more sexy that they present the girls as a full package with a personality, not just a body.

The question about exploitation, as with any service that plays on sex appeal, is who is being exploited. Are the women being exploited because of the way they look? are they being objectified for their "alternative look"? Or is it the customers who are being bilked for their money so they can interact about these sexy women they fantasize about? I could say yes and no on all counts, cause you could really see it either way. These girls are being paid to strip, but also to participate in this community. The customers are willing to pay a premium to interact with these girls, but as long as everyone is a willing participant and fully aware of what they're doing (not tricked into it), whose to say anyone is being exploited?

I don't know what kind of forums they have going on, but if TFP started hiring models and charging a premium, would you call it "just another porn site"?
